"Great book and great audio examples, but the video software is not updated."
"Use Windows Media Player and ripp the audio examples, and then convert the wave-files to mp3s."
"You have to buy the workbook so you can get a better understanding of what you are reading."
"Dear Publisher, Please update the software as soon as possible so that I can use it on my Mac."
"The audio samples are *not* visible on a windows computer - the way this works is pop in the CD in any CD player or computer DVD drive that can play CDs, and play them back. Initial review: "Whoever developed the user interface should be killed - it forces you to listen to the opening tune which after a couple of times gets really annoying, it keeps asking for different CDs (insert disk 1, insert disk 6, insert disk 1, etc) for anything you want to do, and the audio samples are nowhere to be found ('cannot find composer')."
"Doesn't work with OS X 10.11."
